Forget The Spit And Xerox It!

Now we are on to a big one, that seems to hit many under the sun. The copy cat. They want to xerox that. Yep, xerox is the word of the day as X in the a to z comes to play.

That looks great.
Gets no hate.
I want it too.
It's mine, it's true.

Never xeroxed it.
It is my hit.
I never copied at all.
Plagiarism is so last fall.

Artistic license is what it is.
Hey, we are all in the same biz.
I changed the names around.
A few new words are found.

That makes it mine.
Just give the peace sign.
Peace and love my friends.
Trust the hippie dippie life trends.

I reposted a post.
Fine by this host.
I borrowed it from another.
You going to cry to your mother?

Wait! I mean it was mine.
They stole it down the line.
I just back dated it.
See, was my first hit.

Everything is the same.
Forget the xerox claim.
That is my original work.
Hmmm a conundrum seems to lurk?

Original yet the same?
That is my claim.
It is original to each name.
Other than that it is the same.

Pfft I'm not digging a hole.
Come and pay the toll.
Read, play, watch my work.
Xeroxing is such a perk.

It didn't take much time.
Forget that it's a crime.
It is original with my name anyway.
Come and give me your pay.

Ever been xeroxed at your sea? My stuff is rather crazy, so I doubt it here. But other spots maybe from my little rhyming rear. If it is online they will trespass and could easily make me a xeroxed little rhyming ass.

My students think they're so smartThink I'm just an old fartAnd I wouldn't notice their copy and pasteUnaware they're dealing with the master of hasteThey always get caught at my bayMeaning no straight A

"a big one, that seems to hit many under the sun"Xeroxing it, fast episode and they do it on the runWas done mainly on the slyGleefully laughing on every tryNone to it they thought plagiarism is one such fun

Wellllllllllllllll....I have copied my hand way back when. My sis thought it would be fun to do her feet and compare them to her birth certificate, lol. Then we had the brilliant idea of creating Xerox art. Putting things together and creating a picture in black and white. Actually, that was fun.

Nor been done to meover at my seawould see red andwhack them in the head.

One of my fellow painters had a pic of one of his mini's copied. Now the truly shitty thing about it was that it was a major miniature manufacturer that did it. They used it on their online store without crediting or paying him.

I will paint for manufacturers but I get free mini's as payment. None have ever been stolen to my knowledge as I regularly google my images.

It has been eons (technologically) since last I used a photo copier. I don't think I've ever used the term 'Xerox' as a verb to connote photo-copying. It's nice that your posts rhyme, but I have no intention of having a Spring Fling being a mostly happily married man.

Xerox is a copier internationalIt is well - known, and not irrational.Our Chief Executive one dayPut a notice on it to, make it paySaying we on paper should economiseIf we turn it over and use both sidesThis gave me a great ideaSo I copied notice and without fearAttached the notice to the ladies' loo doorAnd watched as they read it as each one sawThey were all in absolute hystericsAnd they knew it was me and none of the clerics.The Chief Executive laughed so darned hard He asked me to write him a funny birthday card . . . lol

Meant to say but somehow omittedTo say copying is a crime committedIt is not right to pinch one's stuffAnd cause us to huff and puffIt is so hard even with copyrightTo sue a thief without a legal fight . . .

I've had a couple of my articles copied and posted on other sites. I sent them a take down request and for the most part most everyone will. There was this one guy who posted one of my rat care articles on his pest control company website * O.o I know right?* and I had a hard time getting him to take it down, but after two months he finally did.

I copy things like recipes and suchNothing bad in that in as muchI am not taking away from someonebut paying homage to a job well done.Now taking someone else's workand calling it your it your own deserves a smack!

I recently came across a pretty large website that stole one of my recipes and damn near copied the photo that I took. Their post went up a week after mine, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't a coincidence. I've found some bloggers that have copied some of my crafts, and a few are decent enough to link back to my site as the original inspiration, but not all. Pretty sad when people can't come up with their own content!

I've often heard it saidCopying is flattery fedIf that was really trueWhy would the scraper crewAuthor credit intentionally skewJust for clicks at their queueI don't believe it for a minuteThieves are thieves, and that's it

Xerox is old school but you are a rhymin' fool. I haven't had my work stolen as far as I know. That really would be a total shit show. I've heard it happens on Constant Content a lot. Those plagiarists can go rot!

About Me

Orlin the cat is the rhyming king, all kinds of entertainment and fun I bring. Pat sometimes gets a vote when he has something to say of note. But it is mostly the cat here at our mat. Pat is owned by my myself and Cassie, who is rather sassie. The two cats and Pat reside somewhere in Nova Scotia and "eh" isn't part of our chat. So here at Bush #5, you can balk, poke fun and just enjoy my hive. If you can't then find some sand from any land, pick it up off the ground and proceed to pound. See what fun I can be? So enjoy my sea where the absence of a plot is a plot and now that is all out of me.
